Word of the Week: Argh!

This week has provided a few 'argh' moments. We had HMI in so that was a manic flurry of marking and planning and planning and marking. All with two tiny people hanging off my legs or jumping on my head.

The girl also had an 'accident' at preschool. It involved her little friend hitting her in the hand with a brick? Bizarre I know. I proper went into Mama Bear mode and was all ready to go and get her a tetanus and a hand transplant and all sorts. Next morning? Mmmmm. It was a scrape. I put a Hello Kitty plaster on it and off she went.

But the main 'argh' moment was the fact that the girl has been offered a preschool place in September in an outstanding preschool attached to a primary. Which would mean moving her from her nursery preschool, which she will be fine with. But also. It means. She will wear a uniform! Noooooooooooooo! Arrrrrggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh stop bloody growing so bloody fast! This thought alone meant I hugged my girl for about an hour. Rocking her like a baby. She loved it. Until she pushed me off to watch The Cat in the Hat. Again.

So argh all round. I hate change. I hate surprises. So this week hasn't been the best! But hey it's date night tomorrow so all is good with the world.

Ooh, date night sounds good! But yes, I can see what the word needs to be 'argh'! I keep over hugging my daughter whenever I remember she'll be starting school in September - it's all happening too fast! Thanks for sharing with #WotW x

I can definitely relate the the growing too fast, it kind of feels blink and you miss it at the moment. I have just moved my youngest pre school so he has attached to the primary he goes to. I was a little worried but he was fine :) '#WotW

Awww:-) They look so super cute when they wear that first uniform though! But yes, I grab my babies and cuddle them up when I feel that pang of time going to fast for my liking. They will never be too old for that.
